After getting up we had a lite breakfast (to leave plenty of room for the Christmas Dinner at the in-laws a bit later!) then went to work building Blanket tents in the girl's room.
A while back, Doreen built a huge blanket tent in the living room, and the girls wouldn't stay in there the whole night, so we decided to build separate ones in each girl's room. Here's Joelle's tent.
doesn't she just look cozy!
Here's the tent in Natalie's room.
Natalie told us that she got up in the middle of the night and went back to her bed! Fine - didn't bother anyone else! :)
After the blanket tent building, we cleaned up some from Christmas and got stuff ready for the trash, I gave myself a buzz cut & took a shower and Doreen and Natalie started making some YUMMY mashed potatoes for Christmas Dinner.One of Natalie's Christmas gifts was a kids toy, but useable, appliance set. So she got out her mixer and mixed the flavors & milk together for when Doreen needed them in the potatos! It's VERY cute.
We had an extremely yummy lunch at my in-laws house. The girls and I played some bean-bag bocce and then I spent some time getting Doreen's Grandma signed onto Facebook so she could see some pics of her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids!
Then Doreen, Joelle, Natalie and I got into a tickle/pillow fight. What a TON of fun that all was. We were all laughing so hard we could hardly fight. But it was a ball. For some pics of the actual event, go to my father-in-law's blog to see some good photos he took of the 'fight.'
After that, we talked a few minutes, then headed home. The girls crawled into bed and Doreen and I watched a couple of movies on Hulu.com. They have a pretty scant selection, but I hope it catches on a bit bigger soon to watch more cool movies online.
All in all - it truly was a very Merry Christmas!
I hope you can say the same!
Blessings!
